None of the garden centers around here have greenhouse environments for orchids. We do have a gorgeous nursery just over the county line that is like a botanical garden if you enjoy nursery hopping. It is like a walk in a gorgeous park. Too bad you can't attend a meeting. Last night Hilltop Orchids gave the presentation and of course, four new 'chids followed us home. Their selection was excellent and his talk was very entertaining. If you want additional information regarding the location, email me off line and I can give additional info. I hope you enjoy your stay in the Bluegrass and get to see some of the horse farms too. Brooke

I would suggest looking at YouTube for dutch buckets. They are fairly simple. Mhp gardener is great and walks you through exactly how to set one up.

Sheesh...I have been trying all day to get together tons of prearranged trades, and I think it has stormed and rained 4 or 5 different times. I hope Thurs and Fri are dryer... Anyone need Daffodils-Mrs R. O Backhouse-the original pink daffodil? I have some put aside for Tina/kilngod Linda, by the airport and ngraham...I think Nancy wanted some I still have 2 packs of 6 each which will make a nice bouquet when planted together. Potted up a Sweet Annie...anyone want it? Anyone want me to put their name on a pack? Also, I can dig more if there is interest in them. Potted up a Sweet Annie...anyone want it? Peppermint? Spearmint? Lemon Balm? Oregano? Well, the rain has quit again, and the temp has dropped to 77...which feels great...off to dig more goodies. Check my list and let me know your interests, if you haven't already... Sue
